I UNITED rllESg I.BASBD WIMI. Washington, April 9. Tho last Lbt In tho minds of politicians aa Uhe probability of Roosevelt plung- ks into tho political battle royal very son, has disappeared, following tho icluslve authoritative statement of :e United Press yesterday that Rooso Self IH discuss political mattors at ome, as soon as he hu talked with i-Forester Gifford Pinchot, and ex cutor Elihu Root. The morning papers throughout tho ut followed this statement and j much space to Roosevelt's prob- Ible attitude.

While It is believed that ho will keep out of tho Insurgent light long enough to forestall charges of 111 coiiBldered action, If is pointed out that ho still has tho, habit of doing tho unexpected, and a statement re garding tho insurgent movement, soon nfter his 'return to America, will not cause much surprise In political circles. In fact many political leaders In Washington would not bo surprised If Roosevelt's home-coming were made the time for tho exploding' of a polltllal bomb. Insurgents are de lighted oyer tho correspondents' dis patches from Italy that state, while not directly quoting the former pres ident, that ho still admires Congress man Victor Murdock, the Kansas In surgent leader. It Is pointed out that the standing of tho correspondents precludes any misrepresentation of Roosevelt, and the fact that Roosevelt never has any difficulty In getting his views printed, even, when refraining from giving di rect .interviews. Roosevelt's political and official at titude towards Aldrlch and the things Aldrlch stands for are being pointed out today In connection with the fact that most men opposing Balllnger ism, Cannonlsm and tariff are person al and political friends of Roosevelt, who stood with them during his ad ministration in the fights he made against the "Aldrlch policies." This, say politicians who are eager to know what attitude tho former president will assume when he re turns to his own country, is a strong indication that Roosevelt will join tho insurgent cause on June 15. ft SUHSORIBERS.

Like yesterday morning the day broke cloudy but before It was far on Its journey tho clouds had almost cleared away and the crowd at the horse show arena was even greater than that of yesterday afternoon and considerable more interest and enthusiasm was evinced with rela tion to the horses on exhibition and tho awardment ot tho prizes to tho winners. , All of yesterday afternoon and all of the forenoon today was consumed in passing judgment on tho many handsome horses on exhibition The immense cro,wd sat patiently through the slow work and from time to time expressed its admira tlon for the animals and it was lib eral with its applause whenever the judges announced the name of a winner of a premium. Parade of Premium Stock. The show this afternoon opened with a parade of the premium stock, The procession was led by the Salem Military band and the line of march was the same as that of yesterday forenoon. Tho streets of the city during the parade were lined with people clear from the arena to the business section of tho city and as soon as it was over the throngs wound their way to the arena where tho auction sale Is taking place thl3 afternoon. The auction sajo Is in charge of J A. Cooper, auctioneer. A large mini' her. of the horses on exhibition havo been listed and It was predicted this afternoon that boforo tho show closes this evening many handsome horses will havo changed hands at fancy prices. Jlcst Show of All. Despite tho" Inclement weather which prevailed on the day previous to tho show and also prevailed to a certain extent on the first day and wh'ch no doubt Interfered with tho success of the show from the view point of attendance It is universally agreed that tho horso show was tho best over givon In the city. It Is stated by those who saw the show of last year that thoro was not quite as largo a number of horses In evidence at tho present show as at tho fornvor, but that thoro was a grea'tor variety of stock, ond that taking It all In all, tho grade was superior. Whllo tho show because of the weather did not roach tho propor tions planned by tho Salem Horse Show association, tho management Is pleasod with the showing made, and has been the recipient of many congratulations from tho horsemfin In attendance and thoso Interested In tho Btock Industry.

Illinois Professor Takes a Fall Out of "Tama Jim," says His Teachings Are "Damnable, Abominable, Disgraceful." IT IS A STINGING CRITICISM Sr.ys the Maryland Sol, Almost Un der the Secretary's Nose", Is Worn Out, and the Teachings of tho De partment, if Followed, Would De stroy the Productivenesss of All Lands Its Up to tho Iowan to Make Reply. UNITED PILEBS LI AS CD W1KX.1 Chicago, April 9. It Is believed here today that Secretary Wilson will probably make a reply to the sting ing criticism of himself and teachings which Professor Cyril G. Hopkins, of the University of Illinois, delivered yesterday In an address before the City club. In his address the characterized Wilson's teachings as "damnable, abominable anil disgraceful." He said In part: "Practically all soils contain suffi cient plant food to produce good crop plelds; thus supply will be Indefinite ly maintained," "So far as the present outlook Is concerned the nation posesses amfile resources in its soil for every con ceivable increase in population for several centuries. "The soil Is the one IndestructlbleJ Immutable asset that the nation pos sesses. It is the one resource that cannot bo exhausted, that cannot be used up. "From tho modern conception of tho nature and purposes of the soli It is evident It cannot wear out, that so far as the mineral food Is concerned, it will continue automatically to supply adequate quantities of plant food for crops. "As a national asset the soil is safe as a means of feeding mankind for untold ages to come." After ho had cited these quotations Professor Hopkins said: "Can you blamo tho farmers for continuing to wear out their land when these are tho teachings promul gated from tho highest authority In the United btates? And these false teachings are ah the more damnablo because the common soil typo on the abandoned farms In Maryland, only a few miles from Washington, contain only 1G9 poundB of phosphorus In the plowed soil of an acre, whllo tho richest black prairie soil of Illinois, with a valuo of 300 an acre, con- THfe FARMER'S REVENGE; OR, ' tains more than 2000 pounds of phos phate in the same stratum." As a remedy for the rapid wearing out of farms, Professor Hopkins sug gested pulverized phosphorous rock, as is to bo found on tho public do main.

It will be a first class threo-story pressed brick building, strong enough to add sev eral more stories when needed. It will cost about $75,000. The lot is 83.27 feet by 149, and tho plana are for a building 83x140 feet. CHARLES GENTRY PLEADS GUIL TY TO ASSAULT AND BATTERY, BUT IS PAROLED BY JUDGE BURNETT. To bo Indicted by tho grand jury over the recommendation of the dep uty district attorney, WInslow, to bo arrested and upon being ' arraigned before the court to plead, guilty to tho charge preferred against him, to havo tho court impose sentence and in tho next breath parole him, was the experience of uharles Gentry this morning In the circuit court. ' Gentry is a young man, and the In dlctment returned against him charged him with assault and battery upon Albert Flosu, at Mills City When tho matter came up for consid eration before the grand jury Depu ty District Attorney WInslow recom mended that no Indictment be re turned, as, In his opinion, there was a lack of evidence, but tho jury took a contrary view, and returned an In dictment. Judge Shovs Mercy. This morning ho appeared before Judge Burnett for the purpose of pleading to tho Indictment, waived tho right of counsol, and pleaded guilty. Prior to imposing sentence, Judge Burnett asked for his story of tho affair, and, after listening to it, mado up his mind that it was a caso where clemency should bo shown, as It was shown that Gentry had been goaded by Fluso, and otherwise Im posed upon, until he' had to defend himself, and also that his manner of defense was mild. Under tho law tho court was bound to Impose sentence, and tho minimum sentence which could be Imposed was a fine of $25. Ho Imposed this fine, but availed him self of tho .provisions of tho parole law, and Immediately after Imposing sentence, had Gentry paroled.

A "Babies" in Four-Oared Shell Beat Rivals Four Lengths Over a Mile Course, ButNo Starting Time Was Taken. GREAT CROWD WAS THERE And Excitement at tho Finish When tho Time Keeper Yelled "Nino Minutos Flat" Was Intense,, as It Was Thought tho World's Record Had Been Broken It Was Stated, Howevcf, tThat tho Course was Only 1 4-5 Miles. (UtUXQO PBESS LBABED WIB&l Oakland, Cal., April 9. Tho car dinal of Stanford University tri umphed over tho California "blue and gold" today in the eighth annual intercollegiate regatta on Oakland es tuary. - Tho Stanford "babies," in four oared shell, beat their freshmen riv als of the State University by four lengths over a mile course. No start ing time was recorded, and thereforo tho tlmo for tho distance could not be obtained. tho Stanford 'varsity eight covered a course-of 1 4-5 miles in nine, min utes flat, and finished two lengths ahead of their rivals. Tho finish of tho -varsity raco was attended by great excitement when the tlmo keeper announced the figures In which It had been rowed. : "Nine minutes flat," ho yelled, and the majority who heard him believed that tho Stanford crew had covered a full two miles in that time, thereby establishing a new world's record. Later, however, It was announced that the actual distance was 1 4-5 miles. Tho race waa not rowed with the sanction of tho executive committee of either college. Both committees had refused to recognize boat racing as an Inter-colleglate sport. That did not deter tho students from entering into competition, although tho results, were not official. Tho Informality of the meet did not: deter thousands of adherents of both' sides from lining tho banks of the estuary and cheering on their crqws. The Ideal weather conditions brought out a record crowd. Tho freshman raco was tho first to bo run. Tho blue and gold four- oared shell had the better of tho start but was soon overtaken by tho Stan ford babies, who quickly forged ahead and hold tho lead until tho ond.
